I don't believe there is a way to do this. The shell normally takes care of pipes. When you do: $ ./foo > /tmp/foobar You're telling your shell to write the stdout output of foo to the file /tmp/foobar sys.stdout won't actually tell you anything useful. It's normally just a file descriptor. cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
